The rules for carrying children are
specifi c to each country. Refer to the
current legislation in your country.
GENERAL POINTS RELATING
TO CHILD SEATS


Intermediate longitudinal position

CITROËN recommends
that children
should travel in the rear seats
of your ve-
hicle:


-

"rearwards-facing"
up to the age of 2,


- "forwards-facing"
over the age of 2.

When a "rearwards-facing" child
seat is installed on the front
passenger seat
, it is essential
that the passenger airbag is deacti-
vated. Otherwise, the child would
risk being seriously injured or
killed if the airbag were to infl ate
.

CHILD SEAT IN THE FRONT

When a "forwards-facing" child seat is
installed on the front passenger seat
,
adjust the vehicle's seat to the interme-
diate longitudinal position with the seat
back upright and leave the passenger
airbag activated. Although one of CITROËN's main cri-
teria when designing your vehicle, the
safety of your children also depends on
you.
For maximum safety, please observe
the following recommendations:


- in accordance with European reg-
ulations, all children under the
age of 12 or less than one and a
half metres tall must travel in ap-
proved child seats suited to their
weight
, on seats fi tted with a seat
belt or ISOFIX mountings * ,

- statistically, the safest seats in
your vehicle for carrying children
are the rear seats,


- a child weighing less than 9 kg
must travel in the "rearwards-
facing" position both in the front
and in the rear.

Passenger airbag OFF

Refer to the advice given on the label
present on both sides of the passen-
ger's sun visor.

To assure the safety of your child, you must deactivate the passenger's
front airbag when you install a child seat in the rearwards facing position
on the front passenger's seat.
Otherwise, there is a risk that the child could be seriously injured or killed if the
airbag were deployed.

CHILD SAFETY

The incorrect installation of a
child seat in a vehicle compro-
mises the child's protection in
the event of an accident.
For information regarding the ISOFIX
child seats which can be installed in
your vehicle, refer to the table show-
ing the locations for ISOFIX child
seats.
"ISOFIX" mountings
These are three rings for each seat:


- two rings A
, located between the
vehicle seat back and cushion, indi-
cated by a label,

- a ring B
, used to fi x the upper strap,
referred to as the TOP TETHER
, in-
dicated by a label. This ISOFIX mounting system provides
fast, reliable and safe fi tting of the child
seat in your vehicle.
The ISOFIX child seats
are fi tted with
two latches which are secured easily on
the two rings A
.
Some also have an upper strap
which
is attached to the ring B
.
To attach this strap, remove the vehicle
seat's head restraint. Then fi x the hook
on the ring B
and tighten the upper
strap. Your vehicle has been approved in accor-
dance with the new
ISOFIX regulation
.
The seats, represented below, are fi tted
with regulation ISOFIX mountings:
